About the author
K.L. Wicks
9 books7 followersI have wanted to write and publish books since I started writing stories at six years old. My first book 'The Monsters Holiday' was that first story that took me into the world of writing, strangely it seems my subject matter chose me. After a 22 year gap from writing, my first real book 'The Willing Observer' happened and I haven't looked back, instead I just keep writing. Novellas, short stories, poetry and a non fiction book. There is more to come...

If I could, I'd give this a 3.5 out of 5.
From the very first page I was hooked, as James' high school bus crashes into a frozen river. But this was no mere accident. Moments before the icy plunge, dark shadowy figures appear along the roadway, willing the crash to happen. James survives, but is haunted by the tragedy. With the help of Officer Dan Shievers, James learns more about the town's dark history. They piece together mysterious events of the area, and unearth bizarre truths.
While I found it nearly impossible to put this book down for long, because of the compelling plot, there were a few hiccups on the technical aspects. The story unfolds at very high speed, and with that the development of the characters suffers.
Still, I enjoyed reading A Parallel Abyss, and look forward to reading more by K.L. Wicks.

The actual events of A Parallel Abyss are engaging, with some really creepy imagery brought to the forefront. The quarry and river become the main focus, haunted by entities determined to drag down the town’s living inhabitants.
While the plot was engaging, the technical aspects made this book difficult to get into for long. There was a lot of head-hopping. Meaning it wasn’t always clear who’s POV we were in. The plot rushes alone which for some of the novel, carried it well enough, but the fast pace meant the character development suffered. We’re thrust from one event to the other, with no real conclusion as to how they all tie in together. There were parts where the novel definitely picked up, but it felt like the threads were dropped so quick it made it hard to follow.
